Lurked so hard I now have an account. I am a non traditional student finally completing my undergrad this semester and a first time MFA applicant. So far I'm on three Fiction waitlists (UW-Madison, Pitt, and WVU) and feeling the weight of this limbo. I know applications are a dice roll but genuinely did not anticipate the number of applications I'd be up against. I was e-mailed from the director of each program I was waitlisted at and was told they had extraordinary numbers of applicants this year. I wonder if this is typical language they use in waitlists or if this is true? I'm also waiting for Arizona to send me a rejection letter lol.
